Bloomington, IN: IUniverse, Date: 2014. 383 pages. This book appears to be partly a history of the Duke family beginning with the author's ancestor Washington Duke, who was heartbroken about the institution of slavery in his beloved state of North Carolina (and who heroically aided the underground railroad), was cruelly drafted into the Confederate Army against his will, was financially devastated by the impact of the Civil War on his life and business, and eventually started a tobacco business that morphed into the fabuously wealthy Duke Tobacco Company. Indeed, Washington Duke was a regular Horatio Alger story. The second part of the book is about the controversy surrounding the suspicious death of his aunt Doris Duke. The author is a lawyer who is very proud of his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Michigan and his Juris Doctor from Washington University School of Law, as well as the fourth-degree black belt conferred on him by the World Tae Kwon Do Federation in Seoul Korea. He is also well known in legal circles as an author of five books and dozens of articles, mostly about the law. Thanks in part to the heroic efforts of his ancestor Washington Duke, the institution of slavery was ended in America more than 150 years ago. Only eternal vigilance will prevent this evil institution from reappearing in our nation.. Hard Cover. VG to Fine/VG to Fine. Human Slavery and Wealth. 2014.

ISBN10: 1491726210, ISBN13: 9781491726211, [publisher: Iuniverse] Hardcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Washington Duke is very young when he first realizes there is racial discrimination in the South. Living outside of Hillsboro, North Carolina, in the mid-1820s, he is one of ten children in a family that shares the wilderness with bears, rattlesnakes, and mountain lions. Washington learns about the world around him from his scholarly father, nurtures a compassion for others, and eventually grows into a man deeply troubled by the institution of slavery. Unaware of what awaits him, Washington is conscripted into the Confederate Army and reluctantly leaves his three-hundred-acre farm in 1864 to fight in the war. When the Civil War is over, Washington is left widowed, with nothing but his farm, two blind mules, a wagon load of tobacco, and his four children. Determined to rise from the rubble, Washington soon begins building the foundation for the Duke financial empire-although not without challenges. As Washington ages, his sons eventually capture his dream to establish Duke University. Even with the family's successes, though, there is tragedy and heartache; Washington's granddaughter, Doris, dies under suspicious circumstances in 1993 and her estate becomes embroiled in a legal battle. Based on a true story, this compelling and inspirational tale examines the life of a gentle giant and his descendants who together built ...
